ALWAYS SELLS READILY 
Many people look upon peaches ns their favorite fruit, and as 
Carman conies uiiou the market before the otlior varieties are 
ripe, it holds the field alone. Of course, for early trade of this 
sort, the fruit sliould be packed in carriers, a.s people will wait 
until the middle of tlie iieach season before buying large quanti¬ 
ties of fruit to can and jireserve. 
CARMAN SHIPS WELL 
^ For a peach to yield real profits to you. it must ship well. 
There is no advantage in raising peaches of fine texture with 
beautiful skins if you cannot got them before the ultimate con¬ 
sumer in good condition. For such an early peach, it will be 
found an excellent shipiier. and if jiicked at the proper time can 
bo sent long distances without injury. 
Carman has white flesh, tinted with red near the pit. It is 
tender, juicy, large-sized, somewhat oval in shape. The skin is 
creamy white with a red cheek. All told, it makes a most desir¬ 
able variety when the appearance, taste and shipping qualities'are 
taken into consideration, and it would probably hold its own 
among the other later peaches. As it is, it has an insuperable 
advantage in its time of ripening. The successful growers plan 
to start the season with Carman. AVhen the crop is exhausted, 
the pickers can begin picking Hiley. and so on through the sea¬ 
son. with no rush or hurry at any time.
